Is there anywhere that sells off the shelf super high quality machine cut ply or hardboard panels to line my panel van? Or am I going to have to put some more time aside and cut some myself?

Cheers!

Just Kampers only appear to do a complete set of MDF panels for for a T25 Bus, ie. the lower interior panels. Previously, I thought that they did interior panels for the T25 panel van because they do for the T4.

mdf+moisture = wheatabix

I know it's only the lower half of the van... but...

I bought a full set of 3mm plywood panels from this chap on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T25-Transp ... 540wt_1153" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Same price as JK for a full set, but obviously plywood is much better than MDF - good grade wood too - very smooth with no horrible knots etc.

All the panels I've coated with some matt clear varnish (with a light sanding between each coat to ensure a nice smooth finish). They look great Can upload some pics if wanted

Hi would love to know what you ended up doing as we're in the same situation, did you manage to find any? Thanks.

Lining and carpeting a panel van you say....

Did mine last year. I used the vwheritage mdf panels which were ok and came with plenty of panel clips. I would've preferred ply panels but to be honest no idea why I didn't go with them at the time. As the panels are for campers you have to be creative with the upper sections where the windows go.

Put 2 rolls of wide Wickes Flash band to reduce panel rattle and also lined with the bubblewrap/foil insulation.


Carpeting the panel I used some 3mm foam (had it left over from a wood floor underlay) and got the carpet from Martrim in Sandbach along with 12 cans of their contact adhesive.

I got some additional plywood and filled in the rear window blank and carpeted the full side.






Due to the panel pack only coming up half height I made myself a full height ply panel for opposite the sliding door and added some aluminium bracket on the wood to stiffen it.


With the spare hardboard side panel I made an upper panel for the sliding door.

Hi Jon, what insulation did you use and where did you get it from? It looks great, we Will be doing ours soon! Thanks.

A few rolls of this;

Dead easy to do.

Fab thanks, we ended up using the self adhesive stuff from Harrison trim supplies was so easy to use! Very sticky too no need for glue or tape!
